Abstract: Files of various file formats are converted into markup language files, such as HTML files or XML-based files, and a compound web document is generated from the markup language files so that the compound web document may be displayed using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer. Files of the above-mentioned file formats may include a PowerPoint file (*.ppt), a Word file (*.doc), an Excel file (*.xls), a single packaged web page (*.mht), and an image file (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif, *.png). Thus the compound web document may be retrieved without linking any other files.

Abstract: A system and method of automatically transforming instant message transmission modes on the Internet is disclosed. The transformation system is applied to a Java-based instant messenger and could be automatically transformed to four transmission modes in accordance with different network environments. The four transmission modes include the socket mode (i.e. direct connection through socket), HTTP 1.1 mode (i.e. connection through a proxy server and a firewall that both support HTTP 1.1), HTTP 1.0 mode (i.e. connection through a proxy server and a firewall that both support HTTP 1.0) and a pure-HTML mode (i.e. without JAVA applet).
